In my case, no, I don't think so.  The reason I need/want scheme is to 
use it with a text  book by a scheme founder/fanatic.  That the ads for 
the textbook don't say it is for a restricted set of platforms seems 
like false advertising at the least.

Actually, reading the little bit of the scheme newsgroup I have, I get 
the feeling that the scheme world is fractured, optionally standards 
compliant or has competing standards and not really interchangable with 
other scheme interpreters or libraries.
